Is there no TV coverage over there?

1220830 2011-08-04 01:20:00 I'm only looking forward to it being behind us. It's been more than an inconvenience so far, and it has cost one of the charities I support a significant chunk of their annual income due to disrupted timing of their fundraising event... which may have a spill-on effect on the fundraiser in future years as well.

I look forward to not seeing any of it!

1220831 2011-08-04 01:45:00 I'm not looking forward to the traffic stuff-ups here. Would be happy for the WC to be in another country altogether.

What traffic stuff ups that we don't get now apart from the jackboots operating around Eden Park..

Will be in the outback of Aussie which is very similar. But even in the main centres of Aussie there is a noticable lack of Kiwi news so we may not know who won until we return. That will be all we will want to know about the RWC.

My buddy and I got tickets to a Lions test in 2005 and ended up surrounded by Poms. Next to us were an Irishman and his Dad. We couldn't understand a word the father said, but he kept jabbering away to us all game. At the end of the game, after the Lions were thrashed, the wee Irishman beside me embraced me and said "Congratulations, you deserved to win. It was a great game!".
We were looking forward to a similar experience in the RWC, but the EQs stuffed it.....

1220837 2011-08-04 21:43:00 Just a bunch of rich dudes playing with other rich blokes and getting richer in the process. Any peasants who don't enjoy that sort of thing can just pay up and look the other way. ;) R2x1 (4628)

Can we peasants look the other way and not pay.
If peasants have to pay then they would be mad not to look if you get my drift
